My daughter bought me this laptop for Christmas as a replacement for the laptop I had, which had been acting up on me getting hot and turning off. This new laptop came preinstalled with Windows 8 ---no recovery disc. I HATE this new system. I even installed Stardock to stop the CHARM bar and other things I cannot stand. When I am playing a game, this charm bar CONSTANTLY GETS IN THE WAY. Not only during games but anytime I am on my computer and don't want to see this screen.
I want to downgrade but want to make sure that this computer is capable---I don't care if I have to buy the software. I need out of this once and for all. I hate having to tell my daughter she made a poor choice. The screen constantly freezes; when I click buttons, it takes forever for it to acknowledge the click. Yes, I tried to change the mouse properties. NO CHANGE.
Just please tell me that I can downgrade to windows 7.
